Bin Laden: the movie

04/05/2011

Kathryn Bigelow's planned film about the failed attempts to capture Osama Bin Laden has hit a rocky patch, caused by the US miltary's successful mission this week. The film will apparently now be partially rewritten.

According to The Hollywood Reporter article written before this week's events, 'The movie is to be based on a failed Black Ops mission by the US military to capture the Al-Qaida leader.'

The insider surmised that the movie could now change in various ways, 'The movie could stay more or less the same, gaining momentum as Sunday’s events give its subject matter added weight, context and timeliness. Or perhaps the project will do a 180-degree turn, with a new story line and focus. We can't imagine the events surrounding Bin Laden's ultimate killing not being incorporated into the script in some fashion. '
